Saving Windows/AV updates for later install?

Wavey

Morning all.
Is there anyway to save all my antivirus and windows updates to the harddrive so that I dont have to download them all again when i reinstall windows?

This is a real pain when your on 56k.

cheers

Is the catalogue option located on the ms website or on the machine itself?

Left hand side on the website, need to enable it 1st in yourn preferences then it pops up.
Click it and it will search for every windows update for Xp by critical, windows and driver.

Tip dont use the driver it finds EVERY driver for Xp not just for your machine.

then just download them, handy to copy XP onto a blank cd and slipstream the updates into it. Then when you reinstall you get all the updates without doing anything
